Democrat & Watchman Looking Backward A Retrospective View of 1 879! Interesting Statistics'oi' the Year Inst Clasefl ! Statement of Number and Value of Buildings Erected iu this City ! Our Schools, Grain Trade and Mann-facturlng Establishments ! Local Chronology for 1879 ! The growth and prosperity of any city is a matter ol much importance to its inhabitants, and as such a subject of mutual congratulation. With the object of enlightening our readers in regard to our position among our sister cities, we present below an exhaustive review of the business transactions of all of our leading establishments dur ing 1879, and a general account of the improvements, etc., made during the year. Every effort lias been made to obtain full statistics in regard to the business accomplished during the year iu this city, but there being no Board of Trade to gather facts and figures in this direction, for the information of the people, very little in relation to the matter of a reliable character could be obtained, except by the greatest effort Simple estimates where facts arc want ed are of little practical value. In some cases where application was made for information, the request was refus ed as a matter with which the public had nothing to do. Nearly all of the Jigurcs are from official sources and may be relied upon as strictly correct, while others are sufficiently so as to aid in forming a very correct estimate. THK CITV OF CTKCLEVILLE possesses many advantages for the establishment of all kinds of manufac tures, over the most of other cities in Ohio. Centrally located, in the midst of a rich agricultural population, with an abundant supply of good coal with in a day's travel, plenty of pure water, and unusual railroad facilities, she may well boast of her advantages, not only for manufacturing purposes, but also for all kinds of business. During the year that has just closed prosperity has attended the efforts of all her people, trade has visibly improved, her streets are wide, clean and well kept, and there is no reason why she should not take the first rank among the live cities of Ohio. Taxes are low, the levy-for all city purposes during the last fiscal year being only C mills on each dollar's valuation. An indebtedness of only $2,000, incurred iu the purchase of the market house lot yet remains unpaid, and this amount will be due and liqui dated in March and December of this year. The value of real and personal property in 1S79, upon which taxes are paid, reached the large sum of $2,997, 3G7, on which amount $17,984.20 will be realized. The population has also increased considerably, as the following table will show : 1S40.... 2,763 1850 3,411 1S00 4,383 1870 5,407 1SS0 7,032 These last figures are approximated from a calculation made on the vote cat in this city hist October. It is safe to say that at least 8,000 people are re. siding here at the present time. lhe business of the year, in many respects, has been an improvement on that, of last year ; the outlook is very encouraging, and men arc exceedingly hopeful, confident that the bed-rock has been reached, and the change for the better is a foretaste of what is to ro. suit in a general improvement in al departments of trade. All of our bus! ness .men are satisfied with their year's trade, having sold more goods than during 1S78. Prominent among the many institutions of which Circleville should be proud, stand our CITY SCHOOLS, inil ot these we shall hrst give an itccount of their doings during the past year, lhe position taken by all classes of our citizens, in relation to cduca. tional matters is highly creditable all respects. No expense has been spared by the Hoard of Education to improve the course of instruction, and make it as practical as possible under the circumstances. The schools are organized on the graded plan, under the supervision of Sup't. M. II. Lewis. In the general managcmeiicof our Pub lic Schools there has been but slight changes during the past year. The schools have suffered no detriment for the year from epidemics, as many others in our State, but have moved on, we are assured, with a full measure of success according to the established policy of the past live years. No new features have been introduced. The steady aim of the Superintendent and his corps have been to perfect the pres ent system by improving methods, by infusing the true spirit of study into tiie minds of their pupils, by giving to all tho instruction as practical a bear ing as possible. And this effort to roise the spirit and increase the power of self-help has had due reference to the moral as well as the intellectual powers of the young. Good business capacity, good business habits, and strength and purity of character are matters ol vital concern to these ma turing citizens and to our common wealth, and it is sincerely hoped that all the patrons and friends of the schools will heartily co-operate in con-sumating so important and so noble a work. Teachers re.cord 1,400 visits of citizens. This is an increase over past years and is a favorable indication. The crowded state ot the upper Grammar and High School grades, the long and sorely needed repairs in furnaces, lloors stairways of the Evert's Building, the absence of all means of ventilation without dangerous exposers, and the extreme inconvenience and deficiency of closet room, have induced the I', .lt d to make arrangements for completely overhauling the old building and for adding several largeandcomiiiodiou :t'Mi-tions to the structure. The new inillil-ing(for such it will essentially be,; coiu- pleted according to the architect's de igns, will give us the coming year an edifice as capacious, convenient, thoroughly ventilated, thoroughly heated ir.d as imposing and beautiful as any Public School building in the State. The work already done has, of course, added to the yearly expenditures which otherwise have remained the same as heretofore. The statistics appended show an in crease of ennmerative enrollment and more than proportionate increase of average, membership and daily attendance : Enumeration, as taken in September, 1S7U 2012 Number of pupils enrolled in Col- oreu Schools Ib0 Number of pupils enrolled in Com mon Schools ma Number of pupils enrolled in High School 1U1 Total enrollment 1400 Per cent, of enrollment on enum eration. 70 Total average daily attendance...- 915 X'cr cencol daily attendance on en rollment 67.0 Sum paid for supervision and teaching $13,902 Cost of tuition per pupil based on the total enrollment- 9.97 Cost of tuition per pupil based on average daily attendance 1-1.77 THE OHIO CANAL. This important feature of Circleville annually addsjto our prosperity. Orig- nally commenced in the 6pring of 1828, it was finished as far as Circle ville in September, 1831, in spite of the croakers who predicted that we should never see the day when the debt incur red in its construction should be paid off, it has contributed more or less to our trade. Before the davs of rail roads all freights were carried here by tins means, and since the advent ot the iron horse its glory has not yet fully de parted. As a matter of historical in terest, we will mention that the first shovel full of dirt thrown up for the Ohio Canal at Circleville was by Geu. Den ltt Clinton, at a point opposite John Groce & Son's slaughtering estab lishment. Gen. Clinton, fresh from his triumps in building the Erie Canal in New York State, had an abidin faith in the enterprise, and the formal commencement of the work here was the occasion of a grand outpouring of the people. Then, as now, there was powerful element against all public improvement, led by Col. Keifer who represented Pickaway county in the Legislature and voted against the prop ositiou to build the Ohio Canal. For nearly fifty years the canal has been in operation, and from the books of Wm Parkhurst, Collector at this port, we take the following statement of tonnage received and forwarded during 1879: AKKIVED.

We have four regular dealers in coal in this city, and we give a resume ol their transactions for the year, below. The estimate does not include thousands of bushels that come here per canal that was disposed of by owners or comman ders of the craft, of which no account can be procured. The consumption of coal has grown considerably within the past few years, many farmers hav. ing discarded the use of wood for its more handy heat producer. And then you don't have to chop coal. But to the figures : CARS. BU8H Schleyer & Jones.. 813 204,22 i O. E- Niles 350 113,750 Sol Hall &Co.(2w) 15 4,875 Josiah Parkhurst, 50,000 453,G25 THE beer boom. The first beer brewing establishment in Circleville, of which we can get any information after interviews with many of our oldest citizens, was carried on by old "Bobbie King," (as he was fa miliarly called) who conducted the bu siness on East Water street, '.'below the hill," in 1S35. His appurtenances for brewing were of the most primitive fashion, and several hundred barrels annually sufficed to supply the demand- Since that early day the manufacture of beer has grown to enormous propor tions, and is now one of our principal industries. The brewery of Krimmel & Hoover consumes about 5,000 bush els of barley annually ana last year made and sold 1,343 barrels, or 5,372 kegs of beer of eight gallons each. Be. sides this there are several agents for beer made at other places whose sales amount to considerable. G. M. Van Heyde, representing the large estab lishment of John Kauffuian, Cincinnati, sold 6,030 kegs of beer during 1879 ; Wm. IT. Sweyer, for Sohn's Hamilton Brewery sold 2,645 kegs: while B Becher purchased 1,350 kegs from various places. Recapitulating we find that there was consumed in this city last year 15,997 kegs of beer. Calculating 100 glasses to a quarter barrel, we have the large product of 1,599,700 glasses of the amber beverage sold and and drank in this city during that time. THE CARRIAGE TRADE. The beginning of the buggy or carriage business here dates from about 1832, when the Stanley Bros., (William and Edward) had a small shop on the site now occupied by J. F. Mason 'a grocery, on North Court street. Here they made the first buggy ever manufactured in Circleville, for the father of John Groce, Esq. It was a sort of carry all, had wooden springs, and was deemed just the thing iu those pioneer days. From that day to this our city has enjoyed an enviable reputation a.-the point whore excellent work is manufactured aud now the trade is fairly at its highest. A run through our carriage and buggy manufactories, discloses the fact that they, too, have profited by the "business boom." They have kindly furnished lis with some New Series Vol. 18, No. 913: interesting figures of their transactions showing that their trade has been a most profitable one, satisfactory to them and to those concerned in the welfare of our material interests. Brobeck & Denman report the sale of 34 buggies of their own manufacture during the season of 1879, beside seven Troy wagons. The repairwork at this house amounted to over $4,000. At Wm. Bander & Son's, 64 buggies were disposed of, and 35 wagons, with repair work estimated at $6,000. Jas. Duffy sold 30 buggies, and A. T. Anderson seven buggies and two express wagons. These sales and repairs represent a money value of over $50,000, showing that our people are essentially pleas ure takers, who enjoy a ride in good vehicles. This estimate does not in clude the trade of W. H. Albaugh, who sold 40 Columbus buggies, for the ag gregate amount of $5,600 ; twelve Web ster and Milburn wagons sold by Has-well & Co., and a number (the exact figures we could not get,) disposed of by W. A. Wardell. The averaee price of buggies has fallen off from $190 in 1878 to $178.50 in 1879, but the depreciation in the cost of manufactur ing during that period has left nearly the same profit to the dealer and manufacturer. The repair work, a fruitful and profitable source of revenue has increased in all the shops. Interviews with all of our makers elicited the opinion that they were, without an exception, well satisfied with the year's exhibit, and hope the coming twelve months will be as profitable as the last. $40,000 invested in buggies and carriages by the people of Pickaway county in one year is a credit to their liber-alit and love of comfert that should not go un record. BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS. It is, generally speaking, by the number of houses that are constructed with a given time, that a city's prosperity is judged. Easy times among the people, and a liberal supply of money, is universally shown by their efforts to secure comfortable homes, and in this feature Circleville is not behind her sister cities. Until quite recently the price of building material has been unprecedcutedly, lowand.many of those who contemplated erecting structures have done so. The exhibit for this year's business in the line indicated has been much larger than during 1S7S, and the prospect is good for the largest trade in building next season ever seen by our mechanics. A number of fine residences have already been contracted for to be put up in 1880, and unless all signs fail, our carpenters, brickma-sons, painters, &c, will have more than they can attend to next summer. This is a healthy sign of returning prosperity, and we should be pleased to see it extend to all branches of trade. The following is a full and complete list of buildings erected improvements and repairs made of the value of $100 and ud wards in this city, during the season that has just closed : B. II. Moore's residence, Pickaway street, $6,000. II. R. Heffner's residence, corner Pickaway and Watt streets, $5,000. . Lydia George's residence, Union street, $1,150.

GRAIN RECEIPTS. The most important commerce to our citf and county, is the grain trade, as it is upon the receipts, crops and prices obtained by producers, that much of out prosperity is dependent. When the farmer has good corps and gets a fair price for his corn, wheat, &a, all branches of business feels the exhiler ating effect of the increased circulation ot the money received for these pro ducts, debts arc paid, goods purchased and the whole tendency is for the better. The grain trade in Circleville, in the Whole No. 2213. way of receipts, has suffered badly during 1879. Not that the crops have not been abundant for they have, and the yield enormous. But.for the fact that the trade is so much divided. Several years ago three-fourths of the grain harvested in Pickaway county, was marketed in Circleville; now, nearly the reverse is true. Buyers can now be found at Elmwood, Hayesville, Wil-liainsport, Yellow Bird, Millport, Ash-ville and Stoutsville, all of whom secure the bulk of their supplies from this county. Situated as they are on railroads, these men can pay as much for grain as our dealers here, and farmers will generally sell near home, aud save toll, if nothing else. This latter item of cost will amount to one cent a bushel. The fluctuation in the prices of wheat and corn since August, has also contributed to cut off receipts in Circleville, as well as elsewhere. Corn opened at the beginning of the season at 40 cents and wheat at $1.00 per bushel. These were fair prices, but many raisers, building on the theory that if corn was worth 40 cents then, It would be worth more in a short time, and wheat advanced proportionately, crib-ing one and stored or failed to thresh the other alt waiting for the rise. The consequence is that more corn and wheat remains unsold in Tickaway cduuty to-day than at any corresponding time for years. In the meantime corn has dropped to 3537 cents, and indications are that when navagation open in the spring, when freights are reduced on railroads and steamers, the supply will exceed the demand in the East, and a still further decline will be realized. Wheat has advanced con siderably since harvest, our dealers of fering $1.30(ffil. 35 for a prime article last Saturday. But even these figures do not suit many who have wheat to sell and they, too, will wait until spring ; not without good reason eith er, for that cereal will doubtless command $1.50 by that time. We have been at considerable trouble to collect the aggregate receipts of grain at various point? in this county, and at one or two places can only esti mate them. The figures given for W E. Delaplane cover only the period from January 1st, 1878, to Sept, 2Q, 1S79, when the house closed ; Robert Hughes' from May 1st to Jan. 1st, 1S80, he having been engaged in the trade but eight months : Wheat.

Valententine THE SCIOTO MACHINE WORKS. One of the largest establishments for the manufacture of steam engines, boilers, &c, and other machinery in this section of Ohio, is the Scioto Machine Works, located in this city. Under the management of the Superintendent, A. B. Dumm, the business has rapidly increased and an immense amount of work has been turned out the past year. Notwithstanding the predictions of some that the house would not prosper under the new regimet the foundry and machine departments have been run to their full capacity, a fact which speaks volumes in favor of the class of work made. The sale of 1S79 amount to over $50,000, and the management hope, with arrangements recently perfected to run them up to $100,000 in 1880. The manufacture of stoves is quite a feature at the Scioto Works, over 400 having been sold dur ing the past year. The house is now two months hehind its orders in this department, and on account of a diffi culty in getting thorough mechanics to stay with them (men with families being unable to secure comfortable quarters to live in here,) they have had some trouble in keeping even with the demands of the trade, being dependent to ascertain extent upon "tramp" labor. They now employ 55 men, and expect to increase the force to 100 men in the spring. The trade in engines, boilers, Ac, has been excellent with the Works iu '79, and the management enter upon the new year with the highest hopes of their rapidly growing business. CIGARS. The manufacture of cigars is carried on by two houses in this city Henry Voneiff and F. E. Dyas & Co. the latter only since August last. During 1879 Voneiff made 002,000 cigars, and Dyas & Co., 150,000 since they started. They employ an average of about 12 men each, and find a ready market for 11 they can make right here at home- Their goods give satisfaction and their grade is rapidly spreading. Work has been suspended at Dyas' for the past month, but will be resumed in a few davs. LOCAL NECROLOGY. A. King informs us that during the year he has had 200 cans in his line, li more than 1878. Of this number 10 were in Ross county, 3 in Fairfield, and 1 in Franklin county. One person who died Mrs. Susannah Shoemaker was 95 years of age ; 13 were under 90; 14 under 80; 16 under 70; 19 under 00; 14 under 50; 19 under 40; 13 under 30; 14 under 20; 30 under 10; 50 under 1 year old. Since the completion of the Mor tuary in May last, there have been 16 bodies temnorily deposited in it. There were 33 deaths at County Infirmary during 1S79. From Jan. 1st to Nov. 1st, Harris A Albaugh attended 37 calls: from Nov. 1st to Jan. 1st, T. N. How. ell had 10 calls. CITY KIRK DEPARTMENT. The Circleville Fire Department, headed bv Chief Nicholas, consists of one hundred men who are allowed $0 per year for their services by the city ; two fire engines, the Circleville No. 1 uul Buckeye, in charge of Engineers L. F. Dresher and A, Rudel, with Will Todd, fireman. The men are divided among four white and one colored company, and have always been prompt in their responses to all calls. During the year there have been five alarms of fire involving: a loss of about $1,000. Our city has been singularly free from de structive fires for several years, and the loss from that cause has not reached $10,000 since 1S74. The Fire Depart ment is well iu hand, is finely officered and will yield the palm of superiority to no similar organization of auy cit)j the size of Circleville, in this State, ROTll brothers. Tho Circleville Tannery under the careful management of tho above firm, is doing a good business in a quiet way Both members of the firm are unostentatious business men, preferring (as they informed our representative,) to attend strictly to their vocation, without t ashing into the public prints.

Ry., and Scioto Valley Railway run through this city, and furnish a substantial support to a number of persons. The receipts of freight for 1S79 we are unable to present our readers, owing in one instance to a prohibitory order against the publication of the money value of such receipts A casual inspec-tion of the books reveals the fact that both passenger and freight trade has been satisfactory to the managers, for it is well known that Circleville pays more on either account than any other city between the termini of C. & M. V. or Scioto Valley roads. An exhibit of receipts for local passengers at S. V. of fice has been fiurnished us by the obliging agent, S. M. Hall, and appears on our third page. mayor's court. We are indebted to Mayor Todd for the following abstract of business transacted in his office during 1S79: Total number of arrests, 408; drunk and disorderly, 245 ; assault and 'battery, 100; night loitering and vagrancy, 50; using profane, indecent and abusive language, 19 ; petty thieving, 10; keeping gambling house, 5; keeping house of ill-fame or prostitution, 2 ; malicious destruction of property, 5 ; peddling without license, 1 ;pick-pockets, 6 ; fast driving, 1 ; throwing stones unlawfully, 6; carrying concealed weapons, 3; tampering with gas lights, 2; indecent exposure of person, 2; getting off the cars while in motion, 4; visiting houses of ill-fame, 9; whole number of State cases tried before the Mayor, 13 ; seven of which were held in bail to appear before the Court of Common Pleas in and for Pickaway county. CITY BANKS. The banking business of this city is represented by the First and Second National Banks. FirstNational Rank, Dr. M. Brown, President; O. Ballard, jr., Cashier; W. M. Drum, Assistant Cashier; E. P. Garaghty, Paying Tel ler. Capital stock paid in, $200,000.00; deposits, $391,315 22 ; total assets, $977,-909.33. Second National Bank, N S. Gregg, sr., President; Henry N. Hedges, jr., Cashier; Samuel Morris, Paying Teller. Capital stock paid in, . $125,000.00; deposits, $303,012.50; total assets, $641,343.73. Such was their condition at the close of business, Dec 12, 1879. Their management under all the fluctuations of jthe commercial world has been such as to commend the high est degree of confidence of an intelli gent public. They are among the solid monied institutions of Ohio, and their transactions are increasing every yeari Few banking houses have enjoyed a similar prosperity. Occupying modern and commodious quarters, their trade is large and profitable, and the stockholders among the most responsible men in the city or county. THE STOVE TRADE. Among the many articles of household use, in the sale of which there has been a marked improvement in Circleville during 1879, stoves claim particular attention. At no time since 1805 has this branch of business had the impetus it has enjoyed during the .past year. A tour of inspection through our various establishments furnished us with some interesting figures, and also shows that while an unprecedented-ly large number of stoves have been disposed of, most of the sales were of the better class of goods, making the value of the sales considerably more than the number returned would seem to Indicate. The old reliable house of H as- well A Co., reports the return of 483 stoves, with transactions in other household articles to make their sales run up to $25,000; Hoffman A McMul-lcn stand next with 307 heating aud cook stoves; Henry Greer follows wilh 150; J. W. Richardson & Son with 97. These figures do not include the hundreds of second-hand stoves sold by the firms mentioned, or other dealers, or those sold by the Scioto Machine Works, which are mentioned else where. Here then we have an aggro-gate of 1,037 stoves put on the market, bringing to our dealers receipts amounting from every source to over $30,000. TRADESMEN'S AND LABORERS' WAGES. In October last the State Commis sioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics sent out blanks to the builders in the several cities of the State, with a view of determining the condition of their business, wages paid, etc. From the figures sent from here, together with a comparative table showing the pay of the various artisans elsewhere, we are able to collate the following returns: .anesville ,82 50 'ZV51 3SS2 25 Jl 25 81 PI Columbus 2 00 2 25 1 75i 1 75 1 75l 2 l 1 1 751 S 00 2 00 2 00 1 75. 2 00 t 25 1 751 1 25 Xenia I 2 50 1 50 i r l 25 1 15 1 25 1 10 Dayton 2 25!

In the general inflation of business, the traffic of shipping dre.-sed poultry, butter, eggs, wool, Ac, has assumed considerable prominence. It is a very precarious venture, however, generally not making a very profitable return, except during certain seasons. This is especially true of poultry. There are several firms who arc now, or have been engaged in the collection and shipment of these commodities, and from their books we take the following returns for 1879. Poultry. Butter. Kirgs. Bids. I.Hs. Bils. A.NoiinaniakeT A Co. 41 st' h :i."M Hunt, Myers A Co. ... 104 l,i lot do J.Snyder ' Itelaplano A Doane Walluce & llro WlK.l- Lbs. i.yo 40,OKI CITV LIBRARY. ' This institution, under the care I Mrs. Mollic Carper, has attained an enviable reputation, aud with the added attraction of a large invoice of new books, has been patronized to an unprecedented degree. The number of books taken out during 1S79, by months, is as follows: January, 621; Fdfcruary, 570; March, 007; April, 520; May, 513; June, 423; July, 332; August, 350; October, 1,124; November, 1,251; December, 1,110. The Library was closed dining September for repairs and rearrangement of new books. It now contains 2,100 volumes, and the managers propose adding about five hundred more withinga mouth. The managers arc: Messrs. Chas'. A. Helwagen, Chas. E. Groce and M. Hoover on part of City Council; Messrs. W. B. Mar-field, W. Marshall Anderson and W. M. Drum on the pail of eiti.eus.

Democrat & Watchman Looking Backward A Retrospective View of 1 879! Interesting Statistics'oi' the Year Inst Clasefl ! Statement of Number and Value of Buildings Erected iu this City ! Our Schools, Grain Trade and Mann-facturlng Establishments ! Local Chronology for 1879 ! The growth and prosperity of any city is a matter ol much importance to its inhabitants, and as such a subject of mutual congratulation. With the object of enlightening our readers in regard to our position among our sister cities, we present below an exhaustive review of the business transactions of all of our leading establishments dur ing 1879, and a general account of the improvements, etc., made during the year. Every effort lias been made to obtain full statistics in regard to the business accomplished during the year iu this city, but there being no Board of Trade to gather facts and figures in this direction, for the information of the people, very little in relation to the matter of a reliable character could be obtained, except by the greatest effort Simple estimates where facts arc want ed are of little practical value. In some cases where application was made for information, the request was refus ed as a matter with which the public had nothing to do. Nearly all of the Jigurcs are from official sources and may be relied upon as strictly correct, while others are sufficiently so as to aid in forming a very correct estimate. THK CITV OF CTKCLEVILLE possesses many advantages for the establishment of all kinds of manufac tures, over the most of other cities in Ohio. Centrally located, in the midst of a rich agricultural population, with an abundant supply of good coal with in a day's travel, plenty of pure water, and unusual railroad facilities, she may well boast of her advantages, not only for manufacturing purposes, but also for all kinds of business. During the year that has just closed prosperity has attended the efforts of all her people, trade has visibly improved, her streets are wide, clean and well kept, and there is no reason why she should not take the first rank among the live cities of Ohio. Taxes are low, the levy-for all city purposes during the last fiscal year being only C mills on each dollar's valuation. An indebtedness of only $2,000, incurred iu the purchase of the market house lot yet remains unpaid, and this amount will be due and liqui dated in March and December of this year. The value of real and personal property in 1S79, upon which taxes are paid, reached the large sum of $2,997, 3G7, on which amount $17,984.20 will be realized. The population has also increased considerably, as the following table will show : 1S40.... 2,763 1850 3,411 1S00 4,383 1870 5,407 1SS0 7,032 These last figures are approximated from a calculation made on the vote cat in this city hist October. It is safe to say that at least 8,000 people are re. siding here at the present time. lhe business of the year, in many respects, has been an improvement on that, of last year ; the outlook is very encouraging, and men arc exceedingly hopeful, confident that the bed-rock has been reached, and the change for the better is a foretaste of what is to ro. suit in a general improvement in al departments of trade. All of our bus! ness .men are satisfied with their year's trade, having sold more goods than during 1S78. Prominent among the many institutions of which Circleville should be proud, stand our CITY SCHOOLS, inil ot these we shall hrst give an itccount of their doings during the past year, lhe position taken by all classes of our citizens, in relation to cduca. tional matters is highly creditable all respects. No expense has been spared by the Hoard of Education to improve the course of instruction, and make it as practical as possible under the circumstances. The schools are organized on the graded plan, under the supervision of Sup't. M. II. Lewis. In the general managcmeiicof our Pub lic Schools there has been but slight changes during the past year. The schools have suffered no detriment for the year from epidemics, as many others in our State, but have moved on, we are assured, with a full measure of success according to the established policy of the past live years. No new features have been introduced. The steady aim of the Superintendent and his corps have been to perfect the pres ent system by improving methods, by infusing the true spirit of study into tiie minds of their pupils, by giving to all tho instruction as practical a bear ing as possible. And this effort to roise the spirit and increase the power of self-help has had due reference to the moral as well as the intellectual powers of the young. Good business capacity, good business habits, and strength and purity of character are matters ol vital concern to these ma turing citizens and to our common wealth, and it is sincerely hoped that all the patrons and friends of the schools will heartily co-operate in con-sumating so important and so noble a work. Teachers re.cord 1,400 visits of citizens. This is an increase over past years and is a favorable indication. The crowded state ot the upper Grammar and High School grades, the long and sorely needed repairs in furnaces, lloors stairways of the Evert's Building, the absence of all means of ventilation without dangerous exposers, and the extreme inconvenience and deficiency of closet room, have induced the I', .lt d to make arrangements for completely overhauling the old building and for adding several largeandcomiiiodiou :t'Mi-tions to the structure. The new inillil-ing(for such it will essentially be,; coiu- pleted according to the architect's de igns, will give us the coming year an edifice as capacious, convenient, thoroughly ventilated, thoroughly heated ir.d as imposing and beautiful as any Public School building in the State. The work already done has, of course, added to the yearly expenditures which otherwise have remained the same as heretofore. The statistics appended show an in crease of ennmerative enrollment and more than proportionate increase of average, membership and daily attendance : Enumeration, as taken in September, 1S7U 2012 Number of pupils enrolled in Col- oreu Schools Ib0 Number of pupils enrolled in Com mon Schools ma Number of pupils enrolled in High School 1U1 Total enrollment 1400 Per cent, of enrollment on enum eration. 70 Total average daily attendance...- 915 X'cr cencol daily attendance on en rollment 67.0 Sum paid for supervision and teaching $13,902 Cost of tuition per pupil based on the total enrollment- 9.97 Cost of tuition per pupil based on average daily attendance 1-1.77 THE OHIO CANAL. This important feature of Circleville annually addsjto our prosperity. Orig- nally commenced in the 6pring of 1828, it was finished as far as Circle ville in September, 1831, in spite of the croakers who predicted that we should never see the day when the debt incur red in its construction should be paid off, it has contributed more or less to our trade. Before the davs of rail roads all freights were carried here by tins means, and since the advent ot the iron horse its glory has not yet fully de parted. As a matter of historical in terest, we will mention that the first shovel full of dirt thrown up for the Ohio Canal at Circleville was by Geu. Den ltt Clinton, at a point opposite John Groce & Son's slaughtering estab lishment. Gen. Clinton, fresh from his triumps in building the Erie Canal in New York State, had an abidin faith in the enterprise, and the formal commencement of the work here was the occasion of a grand outpouring of the people. Then, as now, there was powerful element against all public improvement, led by Col. Keifer who represented Pickaway county in the Legislature and voted against the prop ositiou to build the Ohio Canal. For nearly fifty years the canal has been in operation, and from the books of Wm Parkhurst, Collector at this port, we take the following statement of tonnage received and forwarded during 1879: AKKIVED.

We have four regular dealers in coal in this city, and we give a resume ol their transactions for the year, below. The estimate does not include thousands of bushels that come here per canal that was disposed of by owners or comman ders of the craft, of which no account can be procured. The consumption of coal has grown considerably within the past few years, many farmers hav. ing discarded the use of wood for its more handy heat producer. And then you don't have to chop coal. But to the figures : CARS. BU8H Schleyer & Jones.. 813 204,22 i O. E- Niles 350 113,750 Sol Hall &Co.(2w) 15 4,875 Josiah Parkhurst, 50,000 453,G25 THE beer boom. The first beer brewing establishment in Circleville, of which we can get any information after interviews with many of our oldest citizens, was carried on by old "Bobbie King," (as he was fa miliarly called) who conducted the bu siness on East Water street, '.'below the hill," in 1S35. His appurtenances for brewing were of the most primitive fashion, and several hundred barrels annually sufficed to supply the demand- Since that early day the manufacture of beer has grown to enormous propor tions, and is now one of our principal industries. The brewery of Krimmel & Hoover consumes about 5,000 bush els of barley annually ana last year made and sold 1,343 barrels, or 5,372 kegs of beer of eight gallons each. Be. sides this there are several agents for beer made at other places whose sales amount to considerable. G. M. Van Heyde, representing the large estab lishment of John Kauffuian, Cincinnati, sold 6,030 kegs of beer during 1879 ; Wm. IT. Sweyer, for Sohn's Hamilton Brewery sold 2,645 kegs: while B Becher purchased 1,350 kegs from various places. Recapitulating we find that there was consumed in this city last year 15,997 kegs of beer. Calculating 100 glasses to a quarter barrel, we have the large product of 1,599,700 glasses of the amber beverage sold and and drank in this city during that time. THE CARRIAGE TRADE. The beginning of the buggy or carriage business here dates from about 1832, when the Stanley Bros., (William and Edward) had a small shop on the site now occupied by J. F. Mason 'a grocery, on North Court street. Here they made the first buggy ever manufactured in Circleville, for the father of John Groce, Esq. It was a sort of carry all, had wooden springs, and was deemed just the thing iu those pioneer days. From that day to this our city has enjoyed an enviable reputation a.-the point whore excellent work is manufactured aud now the trade is fairly at its highest. A run through our carriage and buggy manufactories, discloses the fact that they, too, have profited by the "business boom." They have kindly furnished lis with some New Series Vol. 18, No. 913: interesting figures of their transactions showing that their trade has been a most profitable one, satisfactory to them and to those concerned in the welfare of our material interests. Brobeck & Denman report the sale of 34 buggies of their own manufacture during the season of 1879, beside seven Troy wagons. The repairwork at this house amounted to over $4,000. At Wm. Bander & Son's, 64 buggies were disposed of, and 35 wagons, with repair work estimated at $6,000. Jas. Duffy sold 30 buggies, and A. T. Anderson seven buggies and two express wagons. These sales and repairs represent a money value of over $50,000, showing that our people are essentially pleas ure takers, who enjoy a ride in good vehicles. This estimate does not in clude the trade of W. H. Albaugh, who sold 40 Columbus buggies, for the ag gregate amount of $5,600 ; twelve Web ster and Milburn wagons sold by Has-well & Co., and a number (the exact figures we could not get,) disposed of by W. A. Wardell. The averaee price of buggies has fallen off from $190 in 1878 to $178.50 in 1879, but the depreciation in the cost of manufactur ing during that period has left nearly the same profit to the dealer and manufacturer. The repair work, a fruitful and profitable source of revenue has increased in all the shops. Interviews with all of our makers elicited the opinion that they were, without an exception, well satisfied with the year's exhibit, and hope the coming twelve months will be as profitable as the last. $40,000 invested in buggies and carriages by the people of Pickaway county in one year is a credit to their liber-alit and love of comfert that should not go un record. BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS. It is, generally speaking, by the number of houses that are constructed with a given time, that a city's prosperity is judged. Easy times among the people, and a liberal supply of money, is universally shown by their efforts to secure comfortable homes, and in this feature Circleville is not behind her sister cities. Until quite recently the price of building material has been unprecedcutedly, lowand.many of those who contemplated erecting structures have done so. The exhibit for this year's business in the line indicated has been much larger than during 1S7S, and the prospect is good for the largest trade in building next season ever seen by our mechanics. A number of fine residences have already been contracted for to be put up in 1880, and unless all signs fail, our carpenters, brickma-sons, painters, &c, will have more than they can attend to next summer. This is a healthy sign of returning prosperity, and we should be pleased to see it extend to all branches of trade. The following is a full and complete list of buildings erected improvements and repairs made of the value of $100 and ud wards in this city, during the season that has just closed : B. II.

GRAIN RECEIPTS. The most important commerce to our citf and county, is the grain trade, as it is upon the receipts, crops and prices obtained by producers, that much of out prosperity is dependent. When the farmer has good corps and gets a fair price for his corn, wheat, &a, all branches of business feels the exhiler ating effect of the increased circulation ot the money received for these pro ducts, debts arc paid, goods purchased and the whole tendency is for the better. The grain trade in Circleville, in the Whole No. 2213. way of receipts, has suffered badly during 1879. Not that the crops have not been abundant for they have, and the yield enormous. But.for the fact that the trade is so much divided. Several years ago three-fourths of the grain harvested in Pickaway county, was marketed in Circleville; now, nearly the reverse is true. Buyers can now be found at Elmwood, Hayesville, Wil-liainsport, Yellow Bird, Millport, Ash-ville and Stoutsville, all of whom secure the bulk of their supplies from this county. Situated as they are on railroads, these men can pay as much for grain as our dealers here, and farmers will generally sell near home, aud save toll, if nothing else. This latter item of cost will amount to one cent a bushel. The fluctuation in the prices of wheat and corn since August, has also contributed to cut off receipts in Circleville, as well as elsewhere. Corn opened at the beginning of the season at 40 cents and wheat at $1.00 per bushel. These were fair prices, but many raisers, building on the theory that if corn was worth 40 cents then, It would be worth more in a short time, and wheat advanced proportionately, crib-ing one and stored or failed to thresh the other alt waiting for the rise. The consequence is that more corn and wheat remains unsold in Tickaway cduuty to-day than at any corresponding time for years. In the meantime corn has dropped to 3537 cents, and indications are that when navagation open in the spring, when freights are reduced on railroads and steamers, the supply will exceed the demand in the East, and a still further decline will be realized. Wheat has advanced con siderably since harvest, our dealers of fering $1.30(ffil. 35 for a prime article last Saturday. But even these figures do not suit many who have wheat to sell and they, too, will wait until spring ; not without good reason eith er, for that cereal will doubtless command $1.50 by that time. We have been at considerable trouble to collect the aggregate receipts of grain at various point? in this county, and at one or two places can only esti mate them. The figures given for W E. Delaplane cover only the period from January 1st, 1878, to Sept, 2Q, 1S79, when the house closed ; Robert Hughes' from May 1st to Jan. 1st, 1S80, he having been engaged in the trade but eight months : Wheat.

Valententine THE SCIOTO MACHINE WORKS. One of the largest establishments for the manufacture of steam engines, boilers, &c, and other machinery in this section of Ohio, is the Scioto Machine Works, located in this city. Under the management of the Superintendent, A. B. Dumm, the business has rapidly increased and an immense amount of work has been turned out the past year. Notwithstanding the predictions of some that the house would not prosper under the new regimet the foundry and machine departments have been run to their full capacity, a fact which speaks volumes in favor of the class of work made. The sale of 1S79 amount to over $50,000, and the management hope, with arrangements recently perfected to run them up to $100,000 in 1880. The manufacture of stoves is quite a feature at the Scioto Works, over 400 having been sold dur ing the past year. The house is now two months hehind its orders in this department, and on account of a diffi culty in getting thorough mechanics to stay with them (men with families being unable to secure comfortable quarters to live in here,) they have had some trouble in keeping even with the demands of the trade, being dependent to ascertain extent upon "tramp" labor. They now employ 55 men, and expect to increase the force to 100 men in the spring. The trade in engines, boilers, Ac, has been excellent with the Works iu '79, and the management enter upon the new year with the highest hopes of their rapidly growing business. CIGARS. The manufacture of cigars is carried on by two houses in this city Henry Voneiff and F. E. Dyas & Co. the latter only since August last. During 1879 Voneiff made 002,000 cigars, and Dyas & Co., 150,000 since they started. They employ an average of about 12 men each, and find a ready market for 11 they can make right here at home- Their goods give satisfaction and their grade is rapidly spreading. Work has been suspended at Dyas' for the past month, but will be resumed in a few davs. LOCAL NECROLOGY. A. King informs us that during the year he has had 200 cans in his line, li more than 1878. Of this number 10 were in Ross county, 3 in Fairfield, and 1 in Franklin county. One person who died Mrs. Susannah Shoemaker was 95 years of age ; 13 were under 90; 14 under 80; 16 under 70; 19 under 00; 14 under 50; 19 under 40; 13 under 30; 14 under 20; 30 under 10; 50 under 1 year old. Since the completion of the Mor tuary in May last, there have been 16 bodies temnorily deposited in it. There were 33 deaths at County Infirmary during 1S79. From Jan. 1st to Nov. 1st, Harris A Albaugh attended 37 calls: from Nov. 1st to Jan. 1st, T. N. How. ell had 10 calls. CITY KIRK DEPARTMENT. The Circleville Fire Department, headed bv Chief Nicholas, consists of one hundred men who are allowed $0 per year for their services by the city ; two fire engines, the Circleville No. 1 uul Buckeye, in charge of Engineers L. F. Dresher and A, Rudel, with Will Todd, fireman. The men are divided among four white and one colored company, and have always been prompt in their responses to all calls. During the year there have been five alarms of fire involving: a loss of about $1,000. Our city has been singularly free from de structive fires for several years, and the loss from that cause has not reached $10,000 since 1S74. The Fire Depart ment is well iu hand, is finely officered and will yield the palm of superiority to no similar organization of auy cit)j the size of Circleville, in this State, ROTll brothers. Tho Circleville Tannery under the careful management of tho above firm, is doing a good business in a quiet way Both members of the firm are unostentatious business men, preferring (as they informed our representative,) to attend strictly to their vocation, without t ashing into the public prints.

Their goods is of the best quality and always gives satisfaction. the railroads. The C. & M. V. branch of P. C. St. L. Ry., and Scioto Valley Railway run through this city, and furnish a substantial support to a number of persons. The receipts of freight for 1S79 we are unable to present our readers, owing in one instance to a prohibitory order against the publication of the money value of such receipts A casual inspec-tion of the books reveals the fact that both passenger and freight trade has been satisfactory to the managers, for it is well known that Circleville pays more on either account than any other city between the termini of C. & M. V. or Scioto Valley roads. An exhibit of receipts for local passengers at S. V. of fice has been fiurnished us by the obliging agent, S. M. Hall, and appears on our third page. mayor's court. We are indebted to Mayor Todd for the following abstract of business transacted in his office during 1S79: Total number of arrests, 408; drunk and disorderly, 245 ; assault and 'battery, 100; night loitering and vagrancy, 50; using profane, indecent and abusive language, 19 ; petty thieving, 10; keeping gambling house, 5; keeping house of ill-fame or prostitution, 2 ; malicious destruction of property, 5 ; peddling without license, 1 ;pick-pockets, 6 ; fast driving, 1 ; throwing stones unlawfully, 6; carrying concealed weapons, 3; tampering with gas lights, 2; indecent exposure of person, 2; getting off the cars while in motion, 4; visiting houses of ill-fame, 9; whole number of State cases tried before the Mayor, 13 ; seven of which were held in bail to appear before the Court of Common Pleas in and for Pickaway county. CITY BANKS. The banking business of this city is represented by the First and Second National Banks. FirstNational Rank, Dr. M. Brown, President; O. Ballard, jr., Cashier; W. M. Drum, Assistant Cashier; E. P. Garaghty, Paying Tel ler. Capital stock paid in, $200,000.00; deposits, $391,315 22 ; total assets, $977,-909.33. Second National Bank, N S. Gregg, sr., President; Henry N. Hedges, jr., Cashier; Samuel Morris, Paying Teller. Capital stock paid in, . $125,000.00; deposits, $303,012.50; total assets, $641,343.73. Such was their condition at the close of business, Dec 12, 1879. Their management under all the fluctuations of jthe commercial world has been such as to commend the high est degree of confidence of an intelli gent public. They are among the solid monied institutions of Ohio, and their transactions are increasing every yeari Few banking houses have enjoyed a similar prosperity. Occupying modern and commodious quarters, their trade is large and profitable, and the stockholders among the most responsible men in the city or county. THE STOVE TRADE. Among the many articles of household use, in the sale of which there has been a marked improvement in Circleville during 1879, stoves claim particular attention. At no time since 1805 has this branch of business had the impetus it has enjoyed during the .past year. A tour of inspection through our various establishments furnished us with some interesting figures, and also shows that while an unprecedented-ly large number of stoves have been disposed of, most of the sales were of the better class of goods, making the value of the sales considerably more than the number returned would seem to Indicate. The old reliable house of H as- well A Co., reports the return of 483 stoves, with transactions in other household articles to make their sales run up to $25,000; Hoffman A McMul-lcn stand next with 307 heating aud cook stoves; Henry Greer follows wilh 150; J. W. Richardson & Son with 97. These figures do not include the hundreds of second-hand stoves sold by the firms mentioned, or other dealers, or those sold by the Scioto Machine Works, which are mentioned else where. Here then we have an aggro-gate of 1,037 stoves put on the market, bringing to our dealers receipts amounting from every source to over $30,000. TRADESMEN'S AND LABORERS' WAGES. In October last the State Commis sioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics sent out blanks to the builders in the several cities of the State, with a view of determining the condition of their business, wages paid, etc. From the figures sent from here, together with a comparative table showing the pay of the various artisans elsewhere, we are able to collate the following returns: .anesville ,82 50 'ZV51 3SS2 25 Jl 25 81 PI Columbus 2 00 2 25 1 75i 1 75 1 75l 2 l 1 1 751 S 00 2 00 2 00 1 75. 2 00 t 25 1 751 1 25 Xenia I 2 50 1 50 i r l 25 1 15 1 25 1 10 Dayton 2 25!

In the general inflation of business, the traffic of shipping dre.-sed poultry, butter, eggs, wool, Ac, has assumed considerable prominence. It is a very precarious venture, however, generally not making a very profitable return, except during certain seasons. This is especially true of poultry. There are several firms who arc now, or have been engaged in the collection and shipment of these commodities, and from their books we take the following returns for 1879. Poultry. Butter. Kirgs.
